"It's long past time for you to take a stand
against animal rights thugs..." - AMP Director David Jentsch speaks
about why we must stand up publicly for animal research and the
scientific community!

Please take these easy actions in support of animal research:

- Use social media to let the University of Minnesota’s President Kaler
(@PrezKaler), University of Wisconsin’s Chancellor Blank (@BeckyBlank)
and NIH’s director (@NIHDIrector) know that you support the life-saving
research that is going on in their animal research labs.

- Let
Congresspersons Lucille Roybal-Allard (@RepRoybalAllard), Dina Titus
(@repdinatitus), Sam Farr (@RepSamFarr) and Eliot Engel (@RepEliotEngel)
know that they should retract their calls for an investigation of
non-human primate researchers and instead support this vital research.

With the help of mice, researchers have
developed a new treatment for rabies that cures the disease even after
it has spread to the brain.

"This is the most effective treatment we have seen reported in the
scientific literature," He said. "If we can improve these results and
translate them to humans, we may have found one of the first useful
treatments for advanced rabies infection."

“Without armadillos, there would not be much research on leprosy”
explains Meyers from the Armed Forces Institute. And thanks to them,
over the last 20 years, 14 million people were cured of the disease.

Dogs have lent their eyesight to people who
need it, perhaps since the friendship between human and dog began. And
now, mapping the genes of blind dogs could lead to treatments for the
visually impaired.

Another instance where animal research benefits both animals and humans.
